Abstract :
Improvements to the PSpice model for the MOS-controlled thyristor (MCT) (as discussed by Yuvarajan and Quek, 1995) are proposed. The improved MCT model is capable of simulating the breakover and breakdown characteristics of an MCT and working properly at high frequencies. The simulation results of various circuits show quite accurate behavior of the proposed model
